Open Files v3

Plugin from andrebrait

Overview

This plugin shows any open files on the array that might prevent a clean shutdown. The plugin web page is installed in 'Tools'. You can stop all array processes on the open files web page and troubleshoot shutdown problems. After you stop all array processes, you will see what processes are still holding files open on the array preventing a shutdown. Successor to Open Files v2 by Derek Kaser (dkaser), which is based on the original Open Files by Dan Landon (dlandon). Installing it copies the settings of the old plugin and removes it.

Fork notice

This is a maintained fork of dkaser/unraid-openfiles by Derek Kaser, based on the original work by Dan Landon. This fork carries on maintaining the plugin and publishes its own releases.

Installation

In the Unraid web UI, go to Plugins → Install Plugin and enter:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andrebrait/unraid-openfiles/main/plugin/open.files3.plg

Installing replaces the previous Open Files plugin (the original open.files, or an earlier release of this fork) and keeps your settings. The plugin was renamed to open.files3 ("Open Files v3") so Community Applications can tell it apart from the original.

Requirements

  • Unraid 7.0.0 or later.

This plugin adds the ability to monitor processes that have open files that might keep the aray from shutting down cleanly. You can kill any processes that have open files preventing array shutdown. This plugin requires Unraid 7.0.0 or later.

CI maintenance

Workflow actions use SHA-pinned versions of their latest available major releases. The custom release-drafter pin is retained because its conventional-commit changes are not on the upstream default branch. The PHP-CS-Fixer Docker action continues to track its latest image.
